21. Bush lost last time
And he's going to get even fewer votes this time, that's why the Republicans are fighting so hard to corrupt the electoral system with redistricting, and recall, and refusing to reinstate nonfelons wrongfully purged.

So, provided a similar number of people vote who voted last time, there just aren't the votes to put Bush close enough to steal the next election the way he stole the lat one. Everyone who crossed over from the Democrats or the Libertarians, every moderate Republican who hasn't forgotten their conscience, will be rejecting Bush this time around. All the rest of the votes belong to the Democrat.

Barely 45% of Republican Presidents in the 20th Century secured their own re-election. A full 80% of the "one-termers" of the 20th Century were Republicans.

And Bush is worse than Hoover for the nation, and worse than Nixon for the integrity of the office.

There's no reason to compromise by putting up a milquetoast candidate for fear of "electabilty" because even FOX has him at 50% (whereas Clinton was at 71% the day he was impeached), and Zogby has Bush losing to an unnamed Democrat.

Bush is toast. Guard the electoral process against Republican tampering, and nominate the best candidate, and let's get on to rebuilding from the damage done by Reagan, Bush, and Bush, and their kakistocratic corporate suck-ups and thieves.
